The price they are charging, something like that is the very least they should be giving you with it.

Optional add-on available only through Pulse six months after he's released.
This is the sort of thing that concerns me about Pulse, not so much exclusive figures, but that they'll start offering add-ons for the figures only through Pulse.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.

Yup. That and more go-fund-mes. It's why I've found this whole deal shady from the start.

Those daggy repaints of Rhinox, Airazor, Terrorsaur and Cheetor?

I really don't think that's anything to worry about, and if they do happen to do more Transformers this way I doubt it'd be anything as pricey as Unicron. I mean, if they said that to have Titans Metro Titan, Gigastorm, G2 Constructicons, Brave Maximus, or Omega Sentinel made they needed 2,000 orders of $200 to make it happen would that be a bad thing? I think crowdfunding is a great way to get things made that probably wouldn't perform well at retail. Just for the LOVE OF PRIMUS give us time to prepare, stop dropping this stuff on us out of nowhere!

Yes. Because you listed a whole bunch of things that aren't readily available outside of the US.
You, and I mean this with no disrespect, like many others, seem to forget about the rest of the world.
So while your Walmarts and Targets are getting "exclusive" figures, those figures aren't getting a world wide release.
This is why I say I feel like I'm being priced out of the general releases, because five years ago, those figures would have seen a more mass release.

I'm not sure about this. Many of these figures seem to just make up for the defunct club and those figures were impossible for most to get. We are getting more mass release generations toys now than 5 years ago. Does anyone else remember when one out of two waves of deluxes only had 2 toys?

So what you're saying is, Unicron needs a miracle or a big influx of backers.

And it kept going well into 2014, right before the Prime trilogy. About half the waves only had 2 new deluxes (Rattrap/Tankor, Chromia/Arcee, Hoist/Thundercracker) and there was only 1 leader released in the first 4 years of Generations toys.
So yeah, we have more general release toys now than 5 years ago.
